ASUS ROG Phone: Power-packed beast for gaming enthusiasts

As demands for high-end mobile games continue to rise in the country, Taiwanese electronics major ASUS recently launched its first gaming-centric smartphone under its Republic of Gamers (ROG) brand in India.

The company’s flagship device ROG Phone is designed for high-performance mobile gaming and smartphone experience. It was first unveiled globally at the Computex 2018 in June this year.

ROG Phone was launched on November 29 in the country for Rs 69,999.

One of the major highlights of this gaming device is its 3D vapour-chamber cooling system. As per the company, it is the world’s first smartphone to be clubbed with this technology.

Let’s see how it fared during the time we used the smartphone.

Looking at the design language of the device, we found it to be big, and yet stylish and aggressive that gave a perfect “powerful” look to the device.

The gaming smartphone comes with a six-inch fullHD+ (18:9 aspect ratio), AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 6. It has a refresh rate of 90Hz.

The device comes with a metal-glass body that has a plastic cooling panel on the back with copper-coloured grills. To give the gaming device some flashy lighting effects, there’s a customisable RGB-lit ROG logo, that can change colours, on the back.

Of all the gaming phones available in the market, this device seems to have the best screen so far.

The volume and power buttons are placed on the right side and the primary USB Type-C port and 3.5-mm headphone jack on the bottom. It also has a regular USB Type-C port for charging the device.
